"My father sells dairy items for a living. But he could not care less about my education. Whatever he earns he squanders on liquor and toddy," the child alleged
An 11-year-old boy on Saturday stole the limelight in Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's ancestral village of Kalyan Bigaha in Nalanda district by grabbing the visiting dignitary's attention in the midst of a large crowd, and sought support for his education.
The Chief Minister was in Kalyan Bigaha, on the death anniversary of his wife Manju Sinha, whose statue he garlanded inside a park named after his father Kaviraj Ramlakhan Singh.
He was passing through a barricaded pathway, waving at people and accepting petitions from those who wanted to bring their grievances to his notice when the boy, who lives in a nearby village under the same Harnaut block as Kalyan Bigaha, called out to him with folded hands.
"Sir, I need your support for my education. My father does not help me," cried Sonu Kumar.
